Two questions about Dr. Meirleir ...?

I've booked up to see Dr. Meirleir this summer in Belgium.

I've got a couple of questions:

1) Do Himmunitas take health insurance? I have private health insurance based in the UK that covers me worldwide. I am just wondering if, in your experience, they have agreed to charge your insurance, or do they insist on cash/credit card?

2) What do you eat when you're there? Their tests require a pretty strict avoidance of certain foods. What did you end up eating? Looks like just pretty much Meat & White bread is left, or maybe bread and cheese!!

thanks,,

I doubt they can bill your insurance. You probably have to pay up front and send a copy of the receipts to your insurance to get reimbursed. You might want to talk to your insurer first to see what they'll cover.
